First light breaks through morning fog on a Salt Spring Island mountain trail. Winter in the Gulf Islands…
Winter View from Mount Erskine
10:00 am, south of the Mount Erskine summit
Another day, another hike. This time on the Erskine Trails, with the marginally faithful Westie: Cameron.
The fog, frost and snow make it so quiet, peaceful and different from the usual view.
Caution required though as one step off that ledge takes you very quickly to forest floor many hundreds of feet below.
There are only so many mountains on a small island like Salt Spring. So it’s been mentioned and photographed before on this website. Quickly browse the other Erskine posts by typing erskine in the search box at the bottom of the website. Or, if you’re in a big hurry, just click here.
Fog Monster devours Fulford
I watched as the fog rolled through the Fulford valley, rising up the hills and ‘disappearing the trees’.
Bonus: Yes there is still some snow and frost at the summit of Mount Maxwell:
This is the Salt Spring Island equivalent of ‘Snow Pack’. Here today gone tomorrow. The good news however is that the Vancouver Island snow pack has rebounded to 100% of normal, half way through the snow season.
Senior Boys Basketball at GISS
The locals looked good on the court. But not as good on the scoreboard. Next time…
Sea Fog Sunrise
8:12 a.m. to 8:13 a.m.
I’m liking the way 2016 is shaping up. This is three out of three days with fine morning light. With a layer of frost and some sea fog today. But above zero at sunrise. The sun seemed to suddenly hop up out of the sea. Then, a minute later, it slid up to disappear behind the clouds. Shortest sunrise on record. But superb show.
